After giving up a goal in the first five minutes of the match, the Nicholls State University women's soccer team battled back to take a 3-1 win over Abilene Christian at the Nicholls Soccer Complex in Thibodaux.

With the win, the Colonels (9-0-1 overall, 3-0 Southland) extend their record winning streak to eight matches and has now won more conference matches than any team in school history.

Scoring goals for the Colonels were Kristy Tatom, Lauren O'Brien and Amber Moore. Annie Newell earned assists on the goals by Tatom and Moore, while Melissa Pestalozzi assisted on O'Brien's goal.

Goalie Amanda Boylson (5-0-1) allowed just one goal and had one save in the second half to come within one game of tying the school record for goalie wins in a season.
